Austria, Mt. Pfander, and Speedos

So yesterday (Sat.) we strapped on the kids and met up with Rick's friend from work, Timo to skip over to Austria for a bit. Our Destination? Mt. Pfander where at the top lies a wildlife preserve along with the best views of mountains that I've seen yet here in Europe.

The only way up these mountains is by ariel car. I have no idea how the people who live half way up the mountains get back and forth, as I have yet to see roads leading the magnificent homes there.

Waiting for us at the top of Pfander was the set of The Sound of Music. I've never seen so many hills and mountains in one place. Of course, the wildlife had its share of goats...the most wild animal you'll see around these parts. Cate had fun at the children's park on the peak of the mountian and actually fell asleep on the train ride home from being out in that pure mountain air all day.

So take a look:

Today we're off to the pool park where pictures are prohibted because of the freakish amount of nakedness and men in speedos. Sorry, there will be no pictures for the curious.
